Theme of the times

It's the college entrance examination season again. The rain that has lasted for several days has finally dissipated, and the sun is shining brightly in the sky with no clouds, as if foreshadowing some kind of good omen.

At the gate of Y City No. 2 Middle School, parents who were sending their children to take the exam had blocked both sides of the gate. On the road behind them, there was a long line of vehicles. Although it was crowded, both the parents waiting at the gate and the vehicles sending their children off made way for the candidates to enter the examination room unimpeded.

This spectacular scene is repeated every year, like some kind of ritual or inheritance.

"Girl, relax a little and don't be too nervous!"

"Son, remember to drink plenty of water before the exam, so as not to delay your answering!"

"Take the test well, you will be fine!"

"......"

Accompanied by the encouragement from their parents, the candidates who had worked hard for three years took a deep breath and walked into the campus with determination.

Class IX students and their parents were also among them.

Bai Luo's parents patted their son on the shoulders and said, "Have you packed all your things? Did you bring your ID card? Did you bring your 'lucky pencil'? It doesn't matter if you don't know the answers to the questions. Show your strength as the Pope of the 'Temple of Destiny'!"

Bai Luo's mouth twitched: "Can we not mention the Pope's matter? I don't want to use my strength on such things!"

He waved to his parents and said, "I'm going to take the exam. You guys should go home early."

As he said this, he pulled over Si Jishi, who was standing nearby watching the fun, and the two of them entered the school noisily.

——There are definitely not a few parents in Class 9 who make sarcastic remarks like Bai Luo's parents. The students have already achieved success in their careers and do not have the pressure of the college entrance examination, so parents naturally do not have any requirements for them.

Of course, there are those who tease and those who sincerely encourage.

As one of the few people who took the college entrance examination route, Zhou Xun's parents were the most nervous among all the parents in Class 9.

"Relax on the test. You've been studying for so long, so it'll be fine."

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best.”

The couple gave a lot of instructions to each other, and then held Rong Yu's hand beside Zhou Xun: "Xiao Yu, you are much more stable than our Zhou Xun, there will be no problem."

Zhou Xun's father took out two pieces of red rope from his pocket and handed them to the two of them: "This is what your mother, the director of the hospital, specially asked for in the temple. I wanted to give it to you today, but I didn't expect that a child in the hospital fell ill. She repeatedly asked me to give this to you - although it may not be of any use to you, it is a token of my love after all."

Rong Yu held the red string tightly in his hand and said solemnly: "I will cherish it."

Zhou Xun's mother rubbed Rong Yu's head and said with a smile: "Your dean's mother told you not to worry. When she has finished, she will come here to wait for you after you leave the examination room."

"Okay, come in quickly." Zhou Xun's father patted the two children on the shoulders and said.

Not far from the four people, Lin Yuan's parents were talking to Yu Zhi's parents eagerly, not even paying attention to their son. Lin Yuan, holding his school bag, walked shoulder to shoulder with Su Mu to the school, and couldn't help but complain: "Why didn't anyone tell me to do well in the college entrance examination?"

"Isn't this here?" Su Mu pointed behind him casually, his voice filled with laughter.

Lin Yuan looked back - his brother had several layers of masks on his face, and seemed to be trying to say something, with veins bulging on his forehead, wishing he could rush into the examination room and give his brother a "love encouragement". However, he died before he could achieve his goal. Lin Yuan's parents knew what kind of character their eldest son was, and they grabbed Lin Shen's joints with their backhands like two gods of war, preventing him from making a fool of himself here.

Lin Yuan: “…”

He grabbed Su Mu's wrist and silently quickened his pace towards the teaching building.

...

In order to provide students with an absolutely quiet environment for doing their homework, the school deliberately cast a magic barrier to isolate all noise.

But the parents waiting outside the school gate all lowered their voices at the same time, as if they were holding a sacred ceremony. They ignored the sweat dripping from their foreheads and waited quietly for the eighteen years of hard work to bear fruit.

Rui Hang disappeared and walked alone in the campus with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

Unlike students who can use the college entrance examination as a farewell ceremony, all Rui Hang can do is take a good look at this school for the last time.

When the three-day college entrance examination is over, it will be time for Rui Hang to say goodbye to this school completely.

——And the profession of “teacher”.

Teacher, a simple name, but one that carries a lot of weight for Rui Hang.

Five hundred and twenty years ago, he had just traveled to Parnaky. Faced with an unknown world and language, he forced himself to confine himself to the identity of a "teacher", trying to use the word "responsibility" to resist his fear, helplessness and confusion about the other world.

This was the only motivation that kept Rui Hang going during that time when he didn't know whether his students had also traveled through time.

Four hundred and fifty years ago, his teacher's last words plunged him into deep fear. He once again regarded the word "teacher" as a lifeline, looking for his students all over the world and trying every means to bring everyone together.

Even his students are always willing to complain about him. "Teacher" is engraved in his mind and he always sticks to this identity.

But Rui Hang knew that he was the one who brought the students together by trying to prevent them from going astray because he was simply afraid of being alone.

Five hundred years have allowed the students to grow from immature to mature, and have also allowed him to learn to be relieved and let go from being stubborn.

Just as the students have clarified their own paths, it is time for him to let go of the past and focus on his true responsibilities.

But at this moment, he was no longer afraid of losing, because Rui Hang had already understood that the fate of him and his students had been firmly bound together since the moment the "God of Creation" created the world.

...

Rui Hang walked through every corner of the campus, recalling every little thing that happened here. Before he knew it, the sun was setting and the crisp bell rang throughout the campus - the exam was over.

He returned to the teaching building, dispelled the magic that concealed his figure, stood with the teachers who were waiting to recruit their students, and gave encouraging smiles to every candidate who left, until the familiar figure came into his eyes again.

Rui Hang raised his hand.

The tacit understanding allows them to know each other's thoughts even without words.

The students of Class Nine walked past Rui Hang one by one, smiling and lightly high-fiving him, as if completing a silent farewell ceremony - to the eighteen years on Earth and the five hundred years in Parnaki.

From then on, the second stage of life ends and they will embark on a new journey.

...

Time passes and seasons change.

Unknowingly, a hundred years have passed.

There is no longer any national boundary separating the Earth and Parnaqui, and they have completely merged into one.

With the vigorous development of science and magic, successive technological revolutions broke out, pushing the civilization of the Earth and Parnaqui to new heights.

But people did not become complacent with these achievements - no civilization can last forever, and the destruction of civilization is inevitable.

Through the film, Class 9 retells the concerns of the "Twenty-Four Gods". How to protect and continue civilization has become the belief that every generation strives for.

Today, the first spacecraft carrying immigrants to Mars is about to take off, and the Earth and Parnaqui will officially usher in the Age of Discovery.

With a roar, the spaceship carrying both magic and technology took off into the sky and sailed towards the sky amid enthusiastic cheers.

Zhou Moran sat by the window, watching the familiar city shrink as the spacecraft took off, until it turned into a tiny black dot.

The little girl who always loved to stick to her brother has matured, and time has not left any trace of aging on her face. Today, Zhou Moran is among the top ten most powerful magicians in the world. Her abundant magic power and excellent bloodline allow her to have a long life comparable to that of aliens even though she is a human. As for her parents, they are still living on Earth, enjoying their old age leisurely.

Magic prolongs human life, slows down separation, and makes it less sad. They no longer have to worry about their families and can do their best to pursue their dreams.

When the spacecraft lands on Mars and the first batch of immigrants settle down, the spacecraft under her will be transformed into an exploration spacecraft. After that, Zhou Moran will lead her students and team to leave Mars and go to the depths of the universe to explore this magnificent and mysterious world.

I don’t know when I will see my family again after this separation.

"Dad, Mom, and my brother..."

Zhou Moran put his forehead against the window and spoke softly.

Fifty years ago, Rui Hang and the students of Class Nine disappeared completely from the eyes of the world under the pretext of seclusion. Since then, no one has seen them again.

Some say they are already dead.

Some people say that they are trying to reach the level of God that no one has been able to touch for thousands of years.

Some say that they have left this world and gone to another universe.

...Zhou Moran didn't care about these rumors. She believed that her brother and his friends were still living safely in some corner of the world. It was just that the opportunity had not come yet, so they could not meet for the time being.

After so many years, it would be great if I could see you one more time before we part.

She prayed softly.

In an instant, the universe seemed to tremble for a moment, as if the gods hidden in the sky heard her prayer.

Twenty-five beams of light rose from the earth, and the eternal breath spread to every corner of the universe.

A hand quietly pressed against the window of the spaceship, and Zhou Moran looked at the man in front of him in shock - he was exactly the same as in his memory.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and gave his sister a doting smile, just like he had done countless times in the past.

"Goodbye." He said, "Have a nice trip."

Twenty-five rays of light lightly enveloped the spacecraft - this was the best blessing from God.

Watching the spacecraft sailing towards the distant Mars, the 25 people in Class 9 will also embark on a new journey.

Now is the time to fulfill the wish that was made with the dragon clan - to find the continent that was divided by the "Creator God" and lost in the turbulence of time and space, the homeland of the dragon clan.

Rui Hang looked at Xiao Shichuan, the current "God of Space": "Have you captured the breath of the Lost Continent?"

Xiao Shichuan stared into the depths of the universe, a strange look appearing on his face.

"We did capture it, but..." Xiao Shichuan's eyes were complicated: "The energy wave when we collectively became gods just now triggered the butterfly effect, causing time and space turbulence in the parallel universe, and involved a school in that universe."

Class 9: “…”

"How could someone get into trouble just after becoming a god?" Su Mu murmured.

Rui Hang: “…”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed, pretending to be serious and said: "Since this is a mistake we made, we must take responsibility for the people in this school."

He raised his hand, and the space in front of him suddenly twisted and folded, turning into countless star gates leading to an unknown world.

A faint smile flashed in Rui Hang's eyes.

"Then everyone, let's go."
